The clinic will be held in conjunction with the 2012 Southeastern Swimposium.

TNT Swimming of Daphne announced earlier in the week that Peirsol will be the headline clinician for the 2012 Southeastern Swimming Swimposium.

“We are really excited to have Aaron Peirsol presenting a clinic for the competitive swimmers here on the Gulf Coast,” said TNT head coach Jan Mittemeyer. “This will be an exceptional opportunity for young swimmers to interact with, and receive instruction from the most prolific swimmers in the history of the sport."

Aaron Peirsol is a three-time Olympian and seven-time Olympic medalist (five gold, two silver). Individually, he currently holds the world record in the 100 and 200-meter backstroke. As part of the American team, he holds the world record in the 4×100-meter medley relay. His swimming successes have earned him a total of 36 medals in major international competition, including 29 gold, 6 silver, and 1 bronze spanning the Olympics, the World, Pan American, and the Pan Pacific Championships.

The Swimposium is hosted by TNT Swimming, in conjunction with Southeastern Swimming’s Fall Meeting for Swim Coaches from Alabama, Tennessee and the Florida Panhandle. The coaches will conduct business meetings and attend a seminar with P.K. “People Killer” Karkoska, Auburn University Men’s Swim Team’s renowned strength training coach. A parent seminar titled, Nutrition and Recovery will be conducted by Carrie Karkoska, a certified health and wellness coach at Auburn Wellbeing.

“I am extremely grateful to our Swimposium sponsors, whom without we would not be able to host this event,” said Mittemeyer. Swimposium sponsors include, Infirmary Health Systems, LifeSouth, Fairhope Health Food and Sunflower Café, as well as several anonymous donors.

The LifeSouth Bloodmobile will be on site at the Bodenhamer Center throughout the Saturday clinic to receive donations.

Swimmers and families may register for the 4-hour Aaron Peirsol Swim Clinic by either downloading the registration forms from the TNT web site at www.swimtnt.com, by contacting Mittemeyer at 251-599-1019, or through any USA Swimming swim team. Admission will not be taken at the door.
